Thanks for the report, makeRegexpSafe was not escaping "[". Does the following workaround fix the problem (without introducing additional ones)? assignInNamespace("makeRegexpSafe", ns = "utils", value = function(s) { s <- gsub(".", "\\.", s, fixed = TRUE) s <- gsub("?", "\\?", s, fixed = TRUE) s <- gsub("[", "\\[", s, fixed = TRUE) s <- gsub("]", "\\]", s, fixed = TRUE) # necessary? s }) (with 2.6.x, replace "utils" with "rcompgen") -Deepayan ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
